*2022 Stock.* Düfte - Zeichen (Scents – Signs, 4th scene of Sonntag aus Licht (Sunday from Light) for 7 vocalists, boy’s voice, synthesizer (2002). This Scene features six vocalists grouped as soloists, in duets, and in trios, supported and bracketed by rhythmically-free (aleatoric) background ensemble text and glassy synthesizer harmonies. At the end are two additional songs featuring a youth "from the audience". The vocal texts (included in the booklet) describe the themes behind each of the seven days of Licht. In a live performance, body gestures, visual props and burning incense add to the presentation, but naturally these are not conveyed on the CD. Nonetheless, the essence of each Licht "day" is conveyed by the text and vocal ensembles. - Stockhausenspace.blogspot.com
